2004 Ridge Back 107 S&S

What is the starting procedure I seem to have a hard time getting it so start it does start but not very easy should I use the richener or not?

need more info. is the motor barely turning over. what kind of sounds are your hearing. NO dont use the enrichener.

No it does start and does turn over freely I am just not sure on the correct procedure I also ride a CBR954 that is fuel injected so I am just use to turning on the key and pressing the start button.

I here that you turn the throttle twice turn on the richener let it run for a minute then turn the richener off but usually when i do this it will stall. So my question is do I use it and should I be using the compression release also

With a carb, I only use the choke if it's been cold and has set awhile and/or if it won't start on first crank. I follow the manual...turn it on, hit the compression release button, two twists of the throttle, then hit the starter button. If you do start it with the choke on, try to turn the choke off as soon as you can and use the throttle to hold it at a steady rpm (around 1200 or so) until it's warmed up and holds idle on its own. If you keep the choke on too long, you'll end up with fouled plugs sooner than later. Simple instructions, but they work for me. Good luck! :up:

When you turn the key on hit the off button then the run button, two quick twists of the throttle, then push the start. The Off then Run energies the compression releases on your 04. If you take your seat off and look at your EHC (brain) you will see one red light light up and your thunder heart will light up too.
Makes it a lot easier to start and less strain on your battery

i never heard hit the off button first,i have an 04,i turn fuel on,let sit a few seconds for fuel to get to carb,just alittle thing i do,then twist the throttle twice,hit run then start,seems to work for my 04,if carb is adjusted properly should work,if it sits a long time i might twist it three times,thats how i get my 04 runnin,but thats me,find what works best for you
